A Day Out at the Megson Family Folk Show

[Ad- gifted experience] If you’ve got smaller children in your family, I am sure you know that they really love music. There is just something about music that children gravitate towards, especially as they are younger. Megson, a British folk duo, have just released a new album and is currently is touring around England. We were lucky enough to see their live show, which is a wonderful family tour, as well as get their album and coloring book.

Going to see their live show, I had not been to a children’s concert since I was a child myself and I was pretty excited. Megson play a mix of original songs and classical favorites, providing some stuff I did know and plenty I didn’t. At their Colchester concert, the music was a great pitch and the stage was set well. There is a big area at the front full of pillows and soft cushions for children to sit at, with chairs more towards the back for those who wanted them. Children were encouraged to dance and sing along, as well as taught about various instruments and even a little sign language.

4 Top Tips for Moving House

Moving from a country to another country, like I did out of high school, is a massive task. As is moving in general – especially when you’ve lived in the house you are moving from for years, accumulating various belongings that now need to be packed up and brought to the new home. Once you have gone through all the stress of finding a new house, signing agreements and paying the large number of fees there are, the daunting task of actually moving sets ahead, so here are some tips to help with the moving process.

Sort out what you do not need before moving house

You’ve probably gathered a lot of items between moving into this house and the day you move out. People tend to purchase new items and expand to fill various spaces around them. Sorting out your items and throwing away or donating stuff you do not use or want, will really make a difference when moving in. Instead of having to sort in your new house while trying to put everything away and seeing what fits, you can just bring over what you do feel you need to keep, leaving behind whatever old items or unused items you had previously. Moving house is already a big task and taking items you do not use just ends up with wasted space and more boxes. It’s far easier to sort them before you get them into their boxes!

Good Soul CBD-Infused Dark Chocolate Balls | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Everyone feels stress and anxieties in day to day life. For some, it’s more than others – but the idea that a lovely chocolate ball could help reduce that stress and anxiety is something that I can very much get behind trying out. Good Soul have produced a CBD-infused dark chocolate candy that feels like a little treat, meant to help you out as you stress about the latest deadline or feel nervous about going to social functions.

As someone who has not tried foods infused with CBD oil which is supplied from https://organiccbdnugs.com, I was initially curious about the hemp taste that this chocolate might have. It’s 64% cocoa, gluten and dairy free and vegetarian, so there’s not much actually in the chocolate to mask the taste. When trying these dark chocolate balls, however, there isn’t a big hemp taste at all – just a slightly hemp after taste that does dissipate fast. The dark chocolate isn’t chalky and doesn’t dry out my mouth completely. Good Soul is a very nice quality chocolate that really feels like a little treat. They have a bunch of studies and research which shows that these chocolates do help anxiety, sleeping and stress, as well as a few other issues that people do have.

The Smeds and the Smoos – Children’s story book | Review

Reading to children before bed is always a good way to wind down and talk a bit before it’s time to finally go to sleep. We’ve always read stories each night before bed, but that means getting more and more new books to bring new adventures into our home. The Smeds and the Smoos is written by Julia Donaldson, who has written fantastic children’s books. After seeing the book advertised on the London Underground, I went and ordered a copy.
